Studies on the Flexner Group of Dysentery Bacilli
نویسنده
چکیده
1. Volunteers have been immunized with the purified specific antigen of Type V Shigella paradysenteriae (Flexner). The subjects developed a high titer of bacterial agglutinins and mouse-protective antibodies. The agglutinin titer fell moderately after a period of 6 months. The subjects responded fairly well to a small recall dose of the antigen. 2. Two individuals from a group of 10 injected with the specific polysaccharide obtained from Type V organisms responded with an increase in bacterial agglutinins. Mouse-protective antibodies were demonstrable in the one serum tested.

Divisions of the so Called Flexner Group of Dysentery Bacilli.* by Wilburt C. Davison
There is considerable confusion in regard to the existence of subdivisions of the mannitol-fermenting group of dysentery bacilli. Numerous attempt~ have been made to establish subdivisions on the basis of their biological and serological characteristics (1-8). My conclusions are derived from the fermentation and agglutination reactions of 77 cultures isolated from cases of clinical dysentery in...

The prophylactic immunization of man against bacillary dysentery has proved to be a difficult problem. The severe reactions evoked by the toxic microorganisms used in vaccines (1, 2), the multiplicity of bacterial types encountered in the disease, and the difficulties experienced in evaluating the efficacy of vaccines are all factors which have impeded progress in the control of the disease by ...

The problems encountered in immunizing human beings to the Shiga bacillus are different from those associated with vaccination against the Flexner group of dysentery bacilli. T h e Shiga bacillus elaborates both an endoand an exotoxin (1), and the latter can be readily detoxified by treatment with formalin (2). There is reason to believe that this toxoid might be effective in controlling the di...

It has been shown that a lytic fluid for dysentery bacilli can be obtained from the peritoneum of the guinea pig by intraperitoneal inoculation of live dysentery bacilli, and that the lytic action of such a fluid is not strictly specific, but that it exerts a group action on the dysentery-colon-typhoid group of bacilli. A lytic fluid with similar effects was obtained from a child dying of Flexn...

Boivin and his collaborators have investigated in some detail the decomposition of the specific antigens of Gram-negative microorganisms by hydrogen and hydroxyl ions (1). Under conditions of relatively mild acid treatment it was found that antigens derived from a variety of unrelated microorganisms were dissociated into their constituent components, a phospholipid and a serologically active po...
